Michelin Guide "Large, central hotel boasting good leisure and meeting facilities."
Lonely Planet "Located in a modern tower block, with all the usual luxury mod cons." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Stockholm’s best known hotels, the Royal Viking offers two bars, one in the ground floor atrium and the exciting Sky Bar on the top floor, as well as the excellent Stockholm Fisk Restaurant."
Star Service "This hotel occupies an undistinguished eight-story building, pinned between the World Trade Center and Central Station, and handy to airport buses and the express train to Arlanda Airport." Full review

The renovated rooms are definitely worth requesting.
OysterUpscale
"This upscale chain hotel is predictable in terms of its generic decor and the features it offers, but you can't beat its central location that's right by the main train station." Full review

Michelin Guide "Characterful 17C house in a pleasant Old Town setting. Cosy bedrooms are classically styled, well-maintained and equipped with good modern facilities; bathrooms are compact but smart."
DK Eyewitness "Charming winding streets lead to the doorstep of this cosy establishment. Located close to the Royal Palace, portraits of Swedish royalty dating from the 1650s adorn the walls of every room."
Rough Guide "Wonderfully situated in an elegant medieval building in Gamla Stan, with stylish yet old-fashioned rooms in 1700s Swedish design."
Time Out "Just down the street from the Lord Nelson, this 51-room hotel in a 17th-century building is steps from the waterfront, but none of the rooms has a view." Full review
Lonely Planet "If you fancy classic Swedish interiors, rush to Rica, where the smallish rooms feature everything from powder-blue wallpaper and dainty furniture to vintage chandeliers." Full review
Star Service "Anyone familiar with this chain will pinch themselves as they enter the lobby." Full review

Travelers are advised to ask for a large room, since the small Standard rooms measure a mere 200 sq ft.

"Scandic Gamla Stan is a 52-room, upper-middle-range chain hotel set in a charming 17th-century property in the quaint, cobbled surrounds of Stockholm's Old Town." Full review
Fodor's "The feel of historical Stockholm living is rarely stronger than in this quiet hotel tucked away on a narrow street in one of the Gamla Stan's 17th-century houses." Full review
